Eyes Analysed.
ST. James Gazette.

From the 81. James Gazette.
Speaking populaf9y, we may say
that eyes are brown, blue, gray, hazel
black, green, OF OF no color st all.
The last thres varieties, however, r
based on misnomer. Speaking gener
ally again, he may say that blue eyes
take care Of their friends, brown oi
their enemies, gray Of their countries,
black Of their pleasures, and green Of
themselves The blue is certainly the
type with the greatest number Of va
rieties. 1t is a color that illustrates
prominently the feminine qualities
tenderness affection, a yielding to the
Emishes of others sympathy with
small sufferings, that measure
Of vanity without which no wom-
an can be entirely attractive and
that self-surreuder which goes far to
persuade q nan that he is a demigod
because his wife believes it and tells
him so. The color seems to begetting

blue that goes with golden hair. Blue
eyes must be mated with their appro-
pFiate compilation. That color. SO
fascinating in a blonde, is no less de-
lightful in a brunette: but-say the
seientists-its meaning is now altered.
There comes in now, coupled with the
af~ectionate qualities, q certain tend
ency to deceive, stimulated by an am.
bition for conquest and leading to the
qualification of admiration. There.
remain the light blue and the violet.
The first is the eve Of the Northern
races-of the Swedes and the Danes,
of the Scotch sometimes also. 1t sug-
gests constancy and truth, stead
fastness, simplicity, courage, pur-
pose. 1t is a mans eye, with
its moderation and elfrespect
honest in the gIanceit gives you, at
the same time rather cold and phleg-
matte. And then there is the violet
eye. which is a wcnfaa'e eye, and Of
which the main characteristics are af-
lection and purity, chivalric belief and
limited or deficient intellectually.
And now comes the brown eyes.
They are theseyes Of the south and of
the east-of the sunny races; the most
passionate and the least original, and
to them belongthe lustrous black hair
and the olive complexion of skin.
Withthem weget jealousy and cruelty,
somewhat of the feline naturein wom-
en-; and in men, courage coupled with
superstition, a wild recklessness of life,
and q disregard for the sufferings OF
others. But the type has altered
through infinite notifications; and
there are brown eyes In plenty that
have nothing in common with the
passionate qualities OF the south.
This may be generally predicted; that
when the brown is light the disposi-
ton is atfectionate bit hayward, and
as that brow darkens you pass from
affection to passion.
Last come the hazel eyes, which are
more frequent in novels than in life.
No two people seem quite agreed as
to the definition Of the color, and the
reference to a hazel nut, which starts
by being green, and passes through
yellow TO brown, confusingly Illus
trates every theory. A blue-gray
radiated from within with brown and
bronze streaks seem to come nearest
the general view. Adopting this AS
the co'or, it will be seen that they are
chiefly found among the mixed races,
and especially tie English and the
Americans. They always suggest 81
good deal of strength of character,
generally a sense ofmischief and trfcki-
ness-Puck probably had hazel eyes
and sometimes that humorous cruel
ty which belongs to the Anglo-Saxonl
race. Hazeleyed people are rarely
shallow, and you must be prepared
for surprises when you have to deal.
with them.
